Philosophie- und Demokratie-Tour durch Athen
Beschreibung
Dies ist nicht die übliche "touristische" Tour, sondern eher ein philosophischer Spaziergang, zwischen den Wahrzeichen Athens! In dieser Tour werden wir: a. Sehen Sie viele der wichtigsten Sehenswürdigkeiten des antiken Athen (wir betreten nicht alle, das würde 8 bis 9 Stunden dauern!) b. Verschaffen Sie sich einen Überblick über die antike Geschichte der Stadt und diskutieren Sie über ihre größten Errungenschaften wie Philosophie, Demokratie, Wissenschaften, Künste usw. c. Überprüfen Sie einige der alten philosophischen Theorien unter einem neuen Licht aufgrund überraschender neuester wissenschaftlicher Entdeckungen d. Diskutieren Sie die antike Demokratie im Vergleich zur modernen e. Geben Sie Ihnen Tipps für Sehenswürdigkeiten, Museen, Aktivitäten, Essen, Nachtleben und alles, was Sie wissen wollen!

Reiseverlauf
Dieser Ort war das Herz der Stadt Athen. Philosophen wie Sokrates, Platon, Politiker wie Solon, Themistokles, Perikles, Thoucidides, Sofoklis, Aristofanis, die das "Dream Team" von Athen bildeten, prominente Athener und einfache Bürger gingen hierher und diskutierten und debattierten über alle Angelegenheiten.
Wir machen einen gemütlichen Spaziergang durch den Flohmarkt von Athen
Die Hadriansbibliothek wurde 132 n. Chr. Von Kaiser Hadrian auf der Nordseite der Akropolis von Athen angelegt.
Die römische Agora in Athen liegt nördlich der Akropolis und östlich der antiken Agora.
Das achteckige Gebäude mit dem Namen Turm der Winde wurde vom Astronomen Andronicus von Kyrristos im 1. Jahrhundert v. Chr. Gebaut und diente sowohl als Windanzeiger als auch als Uhr. Es war also der "Big Ben" von Athen und auch die meteorologische Station von die Stadt. Die Uhr war sonnig, aber an bewölkten Tagen gab es auch einen Hydraulikmechanismus, der jede Stunde ein Geräusch von sich gab! Es ist die erste Wetterstation.
Plaka ist ein malerisches Viertel von Athen mit kleinen Häusern und engen Gassen.
An dieser Stelle zollen wir einem großen Philosophen Tribut!
Der Pnyx-Hügel gilt als „Wiege der Demokratie“, da hier zum ersten Mal auf der Welt Menschen Entscheidungen über ihre Zukunft trafen. Von hier aus hat man einen herrlichen Blick auf die Akropolis und Athen.

Fantastic tour! Would want to do it again next time! A lot of fun and thought provoking information.
Panos was very knowledgeable and funny. He made the tour very enjoyable and I could have listened to his stories all night. The walk is easy and slow pace. This is a must to understand greek history and attach the beautiful monuments you are looking at.
Hello Giannina, many thanks of your kind review, it always makes me glad to know that people enjoy the tour! My best regards!
Absolutely brilliant tour. Great mix of history, personality, and geography in a way that ties together philosophical development and democracy.
Hello Shane, many thanks for your great comments! My best regards!
This tour is a MUST! A history lesson of the creation of democracy in Athens and the philosophers behind it. Kostas, our tour guide, has a passion for history and it was shared with all on the tour.
Hello Kristi, thank you very much, we see you really enjoyed this tour and this makes us glad! Best regards!
Panos was a fascinating tour guide with so much knowledge both of the ancient philosophy and politics that the tour was about and the philosophical and scientific discoveries of the modern age that helped prove these ancient concepts. It’s a tour that works for those who are relative novices to Ancient Athens and those with knowledge of the subject matter already. Panos’ enthusiasm comes through and he delivers his material clearly and in a way that holds your attention. The walk was at a steady pace with plenty of stops in the shade to avoid as much sun as possible, and he constantly checked in with group members to see how they were doing with the heat and terrain.
Hello James, thanks a lot, you made my day! My best regards!
Panos was an extremely intelligent and knowledgeable guide. He was very attentive and engaging. He truly has a passion for democracy and philosophy. I felt very inspired and want to continue studying Greek ancient history. Highly recommend this tour.
Hello Natasha, I am glad to hear that! Thank you. My best regards!
This tour is a must when visiting Athens. There was much relevant information that Panos, our terrific tour guide, was sharing with regards to how the history of Greece resembles what we are seeing in current times. There were several great stops along the way that provided beautiful pictures to take, and Panos was kind enough to offer to take the pictures. There was a break about half way in to use the restroom and get some coffee, drinks, or ice cream! Thank you Panos for one of the best tours I have taken!

Hello Francisco, thank you very much for your review! My best regards!
Panos was amazing! He’s very knowledgeable, insightful, and passionate about what he does. Even my teenage nieces appreciated this tour. He also handled a disgruntled customer as best he could, in a professional manner. Would recommend this tour!
Dear Farah, hello, thank you very much, really glad to hear your teens liked the tour! My best regards!
Tour guide left me & another woman behind. He did not announce that the group was leaving, & he left us alone on top of a hill & went down a path that split ways, we had no idea or way of knowing which way he had gone with the group. When we did find him he would not apologize & said “I did nothing wrong.” He was extremely disrespectful & rude. Panos was the name of this terrible tour guide. We were less than 5 minutes taking photos I had asked if we could take & he had said yes. He then lied saying that he no obligation to not deliberately leave me behind.
WHATEVER you mention is way far from the truth! Just one remark, if you were actually "lost" why did you not call me as you had already done twice that day?
